Li John, currently in the limelight for his hit song "Icyuki gikaze," has been invited to perform at the prestigious "Colors of the East Festival" as part of a lineup featuring artists from across Africa. The festival is scheduled to take place from May 23-26, 2024, at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., attracting over 20,000 attendees.
Joining Li John on stage will be a stellar cast of performers, including Tanzanian sensation Diamond Platnumz, Congolese artist Innoss'B, Kenyan musician Otile Brown, Ugandan star Nandy, and many others from Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Zambia, and beyond.

He highlighted the responsibility of artists in promoting Rwanda's cultural heritage and contributing positively to the country's image abroad.
"To be able to elevate Rwandan music, we must strive for excellence and uphold our country's values. Collaborating with The Ben, Diamond, Innoss'B, and others is not just a musical endeavor; it's a testament to our collective commitment to showcasing Africa's talent, particularly our own country," Li John added.
Li John's musical journey has been marked by notable collaborations and hit songs, including "Pole" with Papa Cyangwe, "Ready now" with Marina and Afrique, and "Kamwe" with Julien Bimjizzo and All Stars.
